MATURE SKIN

As skin matures, it can gradually become drier, thinner and less elastic. Fine lines may appear more noticeable and the skin barrier may need extra support to stay smooth, firm and comfortable.

IN SHORT
  • ✓Replenish hydration and nourishment
  • ✓Support firmness and elasticity
  • ✓Protect your skin every day

WHAT DOES MATURE SKIN NEED?

Mature skin describes the natural changes skin experiences over time. Collagen, elastin and natural oil production gradually decrease, which can affect firmness, texture and moisture levels.

Mature skin can still be oily, dry, normal or combination. Your routine should therefore support signs of skin ageing while continuing to suit your underlying skin type.

The goal is to maintain hydration, strengthen the skin barrier and support smoother, firmer looking skin with consistent, targeted care.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

MATURE SKIN QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

WHEN SHOULD I START A MATURE SKIN ROUTINE?

There is no fixed age. Start when you notice changes such as increased dryness, fine lines, dullness or reduced elasticity.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RETINOL AND RETINAL?

Both are vitamin A ingredients. Retinal works through fewer conversion steps in the skin, so it can act more quickly but should still be introduced gradually.

CAN SENSITIVE MATURE SKIN USE RETINAL?

Yes, but begin once a week and pair it with gentle, barrier supporting products. If retinal feels too irritating, try bakuchiol as a gentler alternative.

CAN I USE PDRN AND RETINAL TOGETHER?

Yes. PDRN can provide hydrating and revitalising support alongside retinal. Keep the rest of the routine simple and introduce new products one at a time.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SEE RESULTS?

Hydration can improve quickly, while visible changes in fine lines, texture and firmness usually require several weeks of consistent use.

DO COLLAGEN CREAMS REPLACE LOST COLLAGEN?

Topical collagen mainly helps hydrate and temporarily plump the skin’s surface. Ingredients such as retinal and peptides provide more targeted support for firmness.
